Yakov Lerner acb5b8a2dd x86, kprobes: correct post-eip value in post_hander()
I was trying to get the address of instruction to be executed
next after the kprobed instruction.  But regs->eip in post_handler()
contains value which is useless to the user. It's pre-corrected value.
This value is difficult to use without access to resume_execution(), which
is not exported anyway.
I moved the invocation of post_handler() to *after* resume_execution().
Now regs->eip contains meaningful value in post_handler().

I do not think this change breaks any backward-compatibility.
To make meaning of the old value, post_handler() would need access to
resume_execution() which is not exported.  I have difficulty to believe
that previous, uncorrected, regs->eip can be meaningfully used in
post_handler().
